Paul Hamilton here redefines romanticism in terms of its
philosophical habits of self-consciousness. According to Hamilton,
metaromanticism, or the ways in which writers of the romantic
period generalized their own practices, was fundamentally
characteristic of the romantic project itself. Through bracing
analyses of the aesthetics of Friedrich Schiller and Jean-Jacques
Rousseau, and key works by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy and Mary
Shelley, John Keats, Sir Walter Scott, and Jane Austen, Hamilton
shows how the romantic movement's struggle with its own tenets was
not an effort to seek an alternative way of thought, but instead a
way of becoming what it already was. And yet, as Hamilton reveals,
the romanticists were still not content with their own
self-consciousness. Pushed to the limits, such contemplation either
manifested itself as self-disgust or forced romanticists to search
for a discourse outside of aesthetics. Adding greater clarity to
our understanding of romanticism and shedding much-needed light on
the commerce between English writers and philosophers in Germany
and France, this study should be valuable to students of
literature, aesthetics and critical theory.
